THE MAGIC POWER OF SELF-IMAGE PSYCHOLOGY

After making a big mistake, have you ever said to yourself, "how could I be so foolish ?" The answer is that you are not foolish. That mistake and almost every other mistake you ever made are not results of your inability; they are caused by your hidden self-image. From deep within your mind, your hidden self-image influences and controls your every thought and action -- influences you to make, actually make, the wrong decision.

Your hidden self-image was formed when you were still a child. At that time, it formed a picture of what your lot in life should be. Since then you have changed, but it has not. It holds the same plans for you it formed in your childhood and it influences your mind to achieve the plans it wants, not the goals and desires you really want.

When you bring your hidden self-image up-to-date with the rest of you, you will have unleashed the awesome power of your whole mind-success, glory, riches, fame, power, honor will come flowing into your life like a golden river. Now your mind power is limited, hamstrung by the influence of your hidden self-image. When you have made it work for you, not against you, you shall have tremendous power.

Here a famous surgeon, one of the countries leading authorities on mind-power, shows you the seven mental exercises you can easily do to bring your hidden self-image up-to-date and unleash your colossal mind powers.

These exercises are based on Dr. Maltz's years of medical practice. He developed them for those of his patients whom surgery alone could not help. He used them to take shattered, miserable people, who walked every day with defeat and failure, and remake, them into blazing lights of success and fulfillment.

Now you will use these exercises to bring forth the happiness, recognition, and prosperity that is yours by right.

Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full significant and interesting.

-- ALDOUS HUXLEY

PREFACE

Building a New World Within You

My aim in writing this book is very definite: I hope to help you each of you, to reach out toward happier, more productive lives. If you let me help you and if your desire for the good life is strong, you will find that your horizons are brighter than you ever dreamed.

Life should be an exciting adventure. The sun should rise within you each day in terms of the richness of your feelings and the sharpness of your perceptions. You should carve out goals for yourself that will inspire you to enthusiastic action. Going toward life with vigor, no matter what your age, you should never fear death.

One of the greatest adventures in living is getting to know yourself better. It is a tragedy that some individuals spend a lifetime going nowhere, bogged down in frustration, because they don't know anything about themselves or how to cope with problems, many created by environment.

If you read this book thoughtfully, it will be a voyage of discovery for you. You will learn more about yourself and you will learn ways to improve yourself. I've included seven practice exercises and a number of specific suggestions to help you in your quest.

Americans spend enormous sums of money each year for material goods, and they can serve positive purposes. Houses, automobiles, furniture, clothes -- they brighten our lives. Still, vastly more important is our thinking -- especially our thinking about ourselves. This book revolves around this concept, around our self- image and how we can improve it.

As you read on, you will be amazed as you understand the incredible power of your self-image, the overwhelming impact it has on your destiny as a human being. I first understood this while engaged in my lifelong practice as a plastic surgeon and I am happy to share my ideas with you.

You will draw on a great treasure house to lead you onward -- you imagination. From its vaults you will bring forth mental pictures and prop them up in the playhouse of your mind. We will watch the dramas together and learn valuable lessons from them.

This power of imaging is fantastic. Sometimes you may refuse to believe just how important it is but, beyond any doubt, it can predetermine successes and failures.

Some people short-change themselves and never reach their full share of possible accomplishments, or their full potential as human beings. It you emphasize your negative qualities and fail to appreciate your assets, we'll do something about it. If you are willing to exert effort in the best cause you'll ever have, you'll learn to be fair to yourself.

God brought us forth on this earth to live, not to stagnate. He meant us to be happy to enjoy our lives. He meant us to relish every moment, to weave loving care on every day that we live no matter how young or how old we are.

Happiness is a habit, just as is brushing your teeth or washing your face. You can acquire this habit. If you have been conditioned to feel sour about yourself and your world, you can change; you can take hold of this habit of happiness. These are not "just words." I know people who have changed, adventuring into a world unknown to them; the wonderful world of inner happiness.

I hope you'll allow me to help you in this direction toward happiness.

MAXWELL MALTZ, M.D.
